Google Day #2

3 goals

  • Find an average salary for being NBA commisioner
  • Find the jobs needed to be taken before reaching commissioner status
  • Find the objectives needed to be excepted into Columbia University or University of Texas
What I found

  • It has been found that the average salary of NBA commissioner is around $20-23 million a year
  • Adam Silver (the next NBA commissioner in 2014 when David Stern retires) went through many jobs before becoming the next commissioner
  • In 1992 when Adam Silver began he started as special assistant to the commissioner.
  • Then, NBA chief of staff, Senior Vice President of NBA entertainment, Then President of NBA entertainment.
  • Right now he is Deputy commissioner.
  • Silver also produced multiple movies such as Like Mike, Year of the Yao, and Michael Jordan to the max.
  • To become commissioner I must then get on the NBA board of governers.
  • The board consists of 5 people that vote on if the commissioners predececer is right for the job.
  • Columbia University looks at the workload of a student, interests and family, quality of noncurricular things, character, if the person is right for the area, and recommendations to consider the candidate.
  • An average of above 2100 in SAT and 30 in ACT are required
  • Also a 3.8 minimum GPA is needed for Columbia University
